Cooler Installation

This processor has to fit a special cooling fan. When the processor

runs, it will increase the internal ambient temperature. A chassis with

a maximum internal ambient temperature of 38

C at the processor fan

inlet is a requirement. Failure to provide this could result in damage to

the board. Please make sure the cooler has been recommended by

Intel. For more details, go to http://www.intel.com.

Warning! Please make sure that you use a CPU cooler bundled with a

retention module to keep PCB from crookedness. A crooked SBC may

probably result in unknown problem.
